Can the patient journey through healthcare be changed? How are patients treated and why? In a new doctoral thesis, Josina Vink has studied the patient journey and how it can be redesigned. She believes it is not only the physical details that are important when changing the patient journey, but also the whole structure of healthcare, the norms, behaviors and rules.
A large part of care that patients receive today at healthcare centers can equally well be given at home.

Being an elite athlete with a focus on the international elite requires a lot of time for training and competition, which can lead to difficulties in catching up with other things in life such as education.
